We were treated to a performance by the Shetland Youth Orchestra last week in the Sound Hall. The orchestra is made up of children from all over Shetland including both primary and secondary, and their musical talents are amazing!

We were introduced to all the different instrument families including brass, woodwind, strings and percussion. We listened to a mixture of music including classical, swing and even a theme tune or too. We particularly liked the Wallace and Grommit theme tune which they played as we were leaving the hall.

What a very enjoyable way to spend a Friday afternoon!

In PE we have started the year focusing on coordination and movement, working on developing our body control and awareness.  We have used stimulus like Mr Men, animals and Beans to respond to instructions and move in different manners like slow, fast, low, big steps, small steps, jumping, hopping, skipping and much more.

We used our bodies to make the shapes of letters and using movement, make the shape of the letter on the floor.

With equipment we had to follow foot patterns, changes of direction and height, balance and generally use our body to navigate different obstacles.

P2B have been writing  their names and exploring using colours.

Welcome back to our blog.

We’ve had a fun start  to P2 with a sneaky dragon visit. The dragon left us D-Mail and has asked for our help to re-build Fairyland. We are working hard to help him and his friends. Luckily the big friendly dragon left his little buddy called Dizzy.  Dizzy helps us in class every day and loves to hear all about our adventures.
